It is 100% because the SEC had a rare letdown postseason.


This place is full of phonies. Real football fans can appreciate games played by non-SEC teams. Most of the people here don’t know shite outside of their own team and think the beginning and end of CFB history is Bama.

The game last night was a dud, but it had nothing to do with the SEC not being in it.

You don't know that even then. The shorthorns could have been thrown in another bracket and played Notre Dame and Ohio State could have easily gotten Penn State. The natty would have gotten the 2 BEST teams.

But back to my BEST point. You don't start with UNLV playing Boise State to decide who gets a bye and replaces ALABAMA, Miami, SC, or Ole Miss. Do you?

You don't wait for #18 Iowa State to play #16 Arizona State to see who gets a bye and replaces #11 ALABAMA, #12 Miami, #13 SC #14 Ole Miss.

No team with a bye went to the semi-finals. No CC went to the semi-finals. So we now know that teams who were picked over higher ranked teams didn't live up to their higher seeds.

Making CCG winners the higher seeds over higher ranked teams and giving out byes are tits on a bull and will continue to be tits on a bull.

SEC had a down year, calm down
the playoffs are way more fun than having one game that actually matters and then trying to care about the Citrus Bowl

Best season in a long damn time. Loved it. The chaos was great.

None of those teams you mentioned had any chance of winning a national championship this year. FACT!

Here's what we know. We know you were half right.

No, 4 teams was fine. This has just gotten stupid. I caught a couple of first round games, and then I just sort of forgot about the whole thing.

My point still stands, though. Trying to say who the "best" teams are out of a field of 120 after only 12 games is absurd.

Higher ranked according to who? Flawed polls that we've been trying to get away from? That's just stupid.

So this is what old, grumpy men do all day.... Sit at home, alone, and post their grievances in a forum because they have no more friends to talk to


Dude you can’t be that stupid. You’re posting right now saying that shite.

Lol…so that’s what gay obsessed little high school boys that have zero friends and lack basic social skills do? Sit around posting on older, smarter people’s conversations?
Lol…Let’s compare days dipshit. While you are sitting in your remedial high school classes…I’m putting the finishing touches on a deal that’s gonna net me around $1.2 million…while you are waiting for the school bus, I’ll be communing with some Macallan that’s older, smoother, wiser than you’ll ever be. While you’re harassing your mother for some macaroni and cheese to go with your Dominoes pizza, to feed your fat arse…I’ll be having a great dinner with my hot AF, second wife. And when you’re cheating on your Algebra homework, I full expect I’ll be enjoying a fully satisfying romp with said wife. LMAO…that’s what grumpy old men are capable of. And you don’t even have a GED, yet.

It already did. Clemson made the CFP with three losses because of the stupid AQ rule.

It was so great to see a preseason favorite to win the national championship actually win the national championship, wasn't it? And had it not been for the expanded playoff, they would have been out after losing at home to 6-5 Michigan.

Of the 16 teams in the SEC maybe 2-3 were actually pleased with their season.


Speaking for myself, winning the SEC almost feels like a consolation prize. Maybe it's because I'm a spoiled UGA fan, but also maybe it's all the other reasons mentioned in this thread.
